EASA Rhizome
«Orpheus»
Workshop with Denys Horodnyak

2025

In a world where nature is increasingly shaped by mankind, how can we trust our perception?
Like Orpheus losing Eurydice, our desire to look may deceive us. This workshop challenges the innocence of seeing, proposing an intervention to alter how we observe and engage with the environment.

Camera obscura is an analogous construction, often materialized as a darkened enclosed space where the exterior scene is projected inside as a rotated image through a tiny source of natural light. Standing on the islet next to the Sulosaari island in Savonlinna, Orpheus functions as the “machine for training one’s gaze”, particularly on the subject of the natural environment. While sitting with their backs directed towards the physical site—the stereotypically picturesque, idyllic Finnish landscape scenery capturing the country’s biggest lake, Saimaa — the viewers are exposed to an altered image of the scene, rotated, blurred, and textured, projected inside the box opposite them. The tension of the intermediate space in between the two images of landscape, physical and projected, provides the necessary room for reflection on the perception of nature though the act of seeing and examines the danger of the romantic sentimentality and self-indulgence often encoded in one’s gaze on nature; the issue highly relevant for today’s momentum marked by the emerging climate catastrophe and ubiquity of humankind’s control and exploitation of the natural environment.
